A slightly modified illustration of the scene on page 126 where Ville encounters this happy little fish-fellow...who is about three times as big as in the comic. Yikes, I guess I went a bit overboard here. o_o It's been a few months since I drew this (which was around the same time I drew the corresponding comic page) so I have grown to hate a lot of stuff in this piece. Like that water! Seriously, why did I draw it like that? Oh, I know why I did that: I wanted it to look similar to the way I drew it in the comic, but I did not take into consideration that without the organic feel of traditional ink lines it just looks like I can't draw underwater scenes to save my life. Bleh! But at least the Pike looks menacing enough, points for that. : B

I really love how you captured the usual vicious sneer associated with pike and barracuda. Makes it a more threatening and imposing creature. The first time I looked at it, it gave me the willies. Great job.

It actually looks like the water is being stirred up by the pike, adding to the overall feeling of danger and rushing (and poor Ville wanting to flee). Anyhow, I like the look of it and the menacing pike (does it have a name?). Also, I've been very much enjoying the comic lately. <3

I do not know why but it feels like a homage almost to the scene in Disney's sword in the stone where Wart is slowly being stalked by the pike. Might be coloration, might be that the bigger fish looks like a pike. As for your water not looking right, it reads as "wind" more of. Water does not show motion underneath its surface, so the lines come across as not fitting. Just my thoughts. Otherwise love the textures and perspective. Keep it up.
